Memorabilia display case

ABSTRACT

A memorabilia display case is adapted to store and display the two and/or three dimensional articles. The display case includes a front frame member and a back frame member. The front frame member is vertically and horizontally adjustable through a hinge mechanism for securely accommodating a glass panel in a first recessed portion defined on the front frame member. The back frame member includes a mounting panel that is permanently screwed into the back frame member. The mounting panel is adapted to mount three dimensional articles. The back frame member defines a groove portion that includes a pair of spring leafs that can be fitted and locked into a second recessed portion defined on the front frame member to define a locking arrangement for the display case. The back frame member includes a hanging mechanism adapted to facilitate mounting means for the case.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present disclosure relates to display cases, and more particularly, to a display case that is adapted to store and display a three dimensional memorabilia article.

2. Description of Related Art

The prior art references are normally configured to display only documents, hence, being limited to mount and display any type of display articles such as a t-shirt. What is needed is a frame display case that has a mounting panel that allows three-dimensional memorabilia, in addition, to documents to be attached and displayed.

The prior art display cases also generally include clamping mechanisms such as, hinges, latches or magnets, for locking and/or unlocking the front and back frame members of the display cases. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,283,967 discloses the use of hinge means for hingeably securing the front frame member to the rear frame member to facilitate pivotable movement of said frame members. The front frame member is adjacent to the rear frame member wherein said rear frame member is received in a recessed cavity of said front frame member. The front and rare frame members are pivoted apart from one another to permit removal and replacement of the display item. However, these clamping mechanisms unnecessarily increase the weight and size of the case and normally have a tendency to become loose in the course of time. This may lead them to be ineffective in facilitating the durable locking. What is needed is an effective lightweight and durable clamping mechanism that won't become loose in the course of time.

In addition, the prior art display cases generally include specific regions allocated to mount two and/or three dimensional objects. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,447,079 discloses the use of multiple compartments defined by the insertable panels within the case to define a plurality of marginally spaced compartments besides the center compartment. However, the marginal space within the compartments is specifically adapted to mount the objects of the specific sizes. Thus, what is also needed is a display case that facilitates the user to make the use of the whole inner space of the case for mounting the two and/or three dimensional objects per his/her desire.

The present invention solves these problems mentioned in the prior art by providing a memorabilia display case that includes a glass panel, a front frame member, and a back frame member that together define a configuration adapted to store and display a diversified range of display articles making use of the whole inner space. The back frame member has a mounting panel that is preferably permanently screwed into the back frame member, which is adapted to be able to display three-dimensional memorabilia, in addition, to documents. The side panels of the back frame member includes a pair of spring leaf clamping mechanisms adapted to be securely fitted and locked by the front frame member to facilitate a locking arrangement for the display case that won't become loose over time. Furthermore, the front frame member includes an adjustable hinge mechanism adapted to vertically or horizontally enlarge the front frame member while positioning or removing the glass panel to/from the front frame member.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A memorabilia display case for displaying items is provided that includes a glass panel, a front frame member, and a back frame member that together define a configuration adapted to securely store and display three dimensional memorabilia articles. The front frame member has a first recessed configuration adapted to accommodate the glass panel. The front frame member includes an adjustable hinge mechanism adapted to vertically or horizontally enlarge the front frame member while positioning or removing the glass panel to/from the front frame member. The back frame member has a mounting panel that is preferably permanently screwed into the back frame member. The side panels of the back frame member define a groove portion that includes a pair of spring leaf clamping mechanisms adapted to be securely fitted and locked within a second recessed configuration defined by the front frame member to facilitate a locking arrangement for the display case. The display case includes a hanging mechanism that consists of two hanger arms that are riveted into a plate fastened to the upper side panel of the back frame member. The hanger arms are movable from a resting position to a hanging position to facilitate an arrangement for hanging the garments within the display case.
